Item Inventory

     In my minimally sized house are 4 walkers and 5 lawn sprinklers.
     The first walker moved in with us some years ago when Dave's back went out and he was driven to the ER of Mary McClellan Hospital in Cambridge.  They sent him home with a walker and told him not to bother returning it because they were closing their doors; I believe he was the last patient treated in their ER.  That walker, the barebones type, has been in our basement for a while.
   Walker number 2 was issued to me in 2013 when I had knee replacement surgery.  The cost was covered by Medicare as I recall, and the item served double duty when I had my second TKR in 2014.  It is presently serving as a garment rack in the bedroom.
     Dave received a walker from the VA, a step up from my semi-basic model.  It folds up easily and has been in the back seat of his car for some time now.  He may have had to pay a small fee for it; I don't remember.
    The Cadillac of walkers was a gift.  It is candy-apple red, has a seat, is outfitted with brakes and luxury wheels.  It arrived by express and came with a sheet of Boston Red Sox stickers, which nicely enhance the color scheme.  Presently the walker is at the front door, facilitating a walking regimen on the blacktop driveway.
  In our house are 5 lawn sprinklers, different types and colors, with various spinning and oscillating features.  They've been in the basement forever.  I don't know how or why they got here.
